In 2004 I was on my way to work one morning in central London. Whilst crossing the road at a designated green man crossing i was struck by a cyclist who ran the red light. I sustained a spinal injury, had to have surgery because of a crushed disc and have a permanent dropped foot, pernanent limp and constant back pain. The cyclist just rode off, leaving me lying in the road, that is after he had called me a few choice names. He was never caught.

They really, really should be. Motorcycle riders don't have to wear helmets because of their own level of skill on the bike, but because there are other road users out there, as well as road conditions, and because unexpected things do happen. Cyclists are in much the same situation, while they aren't generally going quickly enough that them colliding with something will be fatal, other vehicles can, and it seems like taking a huge, unnecessary risk to cycle without a helmet.

I don't think most are idiots, but I do think without proper road training it stands to reason a lot of them are unaware how to handle themselves in traffic on two wheels. Add to that no lights, no indicators, no mirrors... recipe for absolute disaster. My biggest tip to cyclists: whenever you change position in the road do a shoulder check first to make sure you are not being overtaken. If its clear and you want to turn right, move the bike out from the side of the curb first (after you've done a shoulder check)... don't just look at the turning you want to take and then dart out from the curb, because chances are, especially because you're slow, you're probably being overtaken and if you give that vehicle no clue that you want to change direction it will result in you being knocked off. Whenever you change position you have to be fully aware of all the traffic around you and also make them aware of what you want to do.

Daniel Astbury It doesn't matter, you can still injure yourself very badly if you hit a pothole and go over the handlebars. Especially after what the winter weather did to all our roads. You're likely to get a pretty nasty headwound from that. Plus, you're on a little frame with no protective outer shell, no airbags, no seatbelt, and you're basically up against 1 tonne moving walls. The least you can do is put on a goddamn helmet. It doesn't make you look like a prick, it makes you look that little bit more wiser, hence why the "no brains no helmet" statement is actually true whether you find it offensive or not. What are you, five? I'm not trying to suggest helmets are useless when I say this, but just look at Michael Schumacher - he wasn't going very fast at all when he whacked his head and knocked himself unconscious. What his helmet did do is spare him a nasty wound, and that's why there should be a law saying they must be worn by all cyclists on the road. Just like bicycle lights past dusk, no excuse for not fitting those either.

Cyclist here, I think these people are being complete prats. How hard is it to read the highway code (which happens to be much shorter for cyclists)? Some of the musts: keeps both hands on the handles, use lights especially at night, use your arms to indicate if you want to turn.... AND STOP AT THE BLOODY RED LIGHT! Another side note, this whole car vs cycle war could end if we copied the netherlands and put cycling paths up and down the country.

1:20 that pedestrian was on the far right side and the cyclist was on the far left side. They wouldn't have interfered with one another unless she were in a full out sprint and he was riding at a snail's pace. Neither was the case so I don't see the problem. I would have ridden through as well.

it doesnt matter stop its a red light for a reason, when i cross the road its not just the cars i wait to stop but the flipping train of cyclist that zoom passed the inside of a stopped vehicle, them knowing well that pedestrians are crossing some don't even bother slowing down at all. you cant have cyclist complain and say we have the same rights on the road but do stuff like that

Difference its if a motorist does it with dash cam footage I can dob then in (which I have done indeed) and they get fined points etc. I have made a van driver lose his job due to going the wrong way around a roundabout. This was all due to Number plates and recognition. If this driver wanted to do the same how do we track these cyclists. I have had damage to my car due to cyclist leaning their handlebars on my car and scratching it as they cycled off. I have watched a cyclist scratch the side of a car trying to squeeze down a gap and he cycled off. I failed my driving test due to a cyclist cycling off the pavement and into the back of my car. Yes I was infront of him and he just was oblivious. I also have almost killed one as he ran a red light. For not killing him do you think I got a thanks!!! Nope I got a middle finger and a 'go f**k yourself*. Car drivers are bad and I will happily report them. But the issue with cyclists is they do not want a 'level' playing field they want to pick and choose laws they want to abide by. You cannot have your cake and eat it. You either want to drive on roads and therefore obey everything or you don't. Motorbikes are smaller than cars, and I do not see them going through red lights all the time and just driving through zebra crossings. Similarly I am smaller than a 18 wheeler. If I see one turning on a roundabout I do not get on its inside, simply they will kill me. I have taken that personal responsibility so why do cyclists hate doing the same.

Hey Burce was.....try riding a bike in a city for a while. By gaining some first hand experience, you'll learn why cyclists do what they do. Sure, there's lots of blatant assholery out there, but many illegal things that cyclists do (getting the jump on a green light, riding on the sidewalk, etc) are done for personal safety, as biking infrastructure is most often either crappy or non-existent. It's impossible for a cyclist to strictly follow the rules of the road, as these rules have been designed over decades for the sole purpose of car traffic. Learning why cyclists navigate cities the way they do, will only make you a more competent and relaxed motorist.

Just going to point this out to people who don’t cycle. BIKE BRAKES ARE NOT AS GOOD AS CAR BRAKES. This means that when you brake it takes longer to stop, which means... if you’re approaching lights and they turn red as you get there you cannot stop in time. Therefore, if a light turns red as you get there, the safest thing to do is to keep going to avoid slamming the brakes on and crashing or even worse, stopping in the path of the pedestrians. And we’ll all just ignore the many cars that blatantly jump red lights on the road anyway.
